[Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of drug-induced keratopathy (2023)].

Drug-induced keratopathy occurs when the use of certain drugs, particularly ophthalmic preparations, causes pathological changes in the cornea. These changes can be related to the toxic effects of the drugs themselves or drug preservatives. The disease is characterized by a range of clinical features and lacks specific diagnostic criteria, which can lead to misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment. In order to address these challenges, the Cornea Group of the Ophthalmology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association has brought together leading experts in the field to review key techniques for the diagnosis and treatment of drug-induced keratopathy. As a result, they have developed this consensus to guide the prevention and treatment of this condition.
